    Default A few items

    As I have said elsewhere I had phone line problems which gave me time in the shed to make some Christmas presents.
    So here are a few I have turned
    First is a set of candle sticks (I can't take credit for the design) about 11" tall made from Ash and some left over mahogany.

    The next are 2 sets of jewellery. The set on the right I may have posted before, anyway the left hand set is Cherry and the right is Yew

    A salt and Pepper mill set made for my sister to give to my niece for Christmas made from Chestnut and stand about 7" tall

    And finally A bowl for my mum to give to her friend again for Christmas. Made from Tulip wood and about 9" across

    Well that's it for the moment

    You surely haven't wasted any of the down time Derek.
    One would be very happy to receive such a beautiful hand-made gift for Christmas, well done.
    Cheers, crowie

    Well someone's been busy. A nice collection there, I'm sure some happy friends and relation this Christmas time.

    You're going to have to explain the miniature Bangle type earrings. I can't see a jig that small in my mind's eye - so what's the trick please.

    The simple answer is double sided tape and very light cuts

    forgot to mention The drilling of the small hole is done on the lathe as before very carefully as the eraing is domed like the pendant so the drill cuts on one side until it gets deep enough.

    Like the saying "slowly slowly catchy monkey"
